A Nashville Circus Ticket Giveaway!

The Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey circus is coming to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena January 26-29, and I’m giving away five packs of four tickets each!

We get to go to lots of kids shows here in Nashville, but the circus last year was one of my children’s absolute favorite events of the year — and my husband and I loved it, too. There really is something for everyone.

Here’s the synopsis of this year’s show, called ‘Fully Charged:’

The most electrifying edition ever of Ringling Bros.® celebrates ‘performance power’ that boosts circus-goers’ excitement. The amazing acts, which can be seen only at The Greatest Show On Earth®, include Tabayara, a dynamic animal trainer whose rare ability to communicate with animals allows him to ride rearing stallions at a fully charged gallop and orchestrate majestic 4-ton Asian elephants in a symphony of dance. The fearless Fernandez Brothers dial up the thrills as they perform daring feats of athleticism on the Twin Turbines of Steel, including extreme jumps and twists inside the moving wheels! The Human Fuse, Brian Miser, sets the arena sky ablaze as he rockets through the air from his self-made human crossbow. The hilarious hoopla continues to flow as the clowns from the world-famous Ringling Bros.® Clown Alley charge up the audiences’ funny bones with hysterical silly antics and clownish comedy. The action at Fully Charged begins an hour before show time at the All Access Pre-show – FREE to all ticket holders. Get to know the world’s greatest performers, meet some of our amazing animals in person, and work to become CircusFit, all before the show starts! The All Access Pre-show is the only place where you can register for a chance to win a pachyderm painting created by one of Ringling Bros.’ artistic Asian elephants right before audiences’ eyes.

The Nashville schedule:

Thursday, Jan. 26, 7 p.m.

Friday, Jan. 27, 10:30 a.m., 7 p.m.

Saturday, Jan. 28, 11 a.m., 3 p.m., 7 p.m.

Sunday, Jan. 29, 1 p.m., 5 p.m.

If you’d like to win a 4-pack of tickets, just leave a comment in this post between now and Wednesday, January 25th at 12pm CTL. Watch your e-mail if you’ve entered, because I will be contacting you immediately after the giveaway closes if you’ve won. Winners will have vouchers waiting for them at Bridgestone Arena’s Will Call desk, which they can exchange for four tickets to any Nashville show.

Good luck!

    I would love to see this with my kiddos and hubs! We went to the Shrine circus in the fall and were disappointed at the lack of live animals in the show. I hear that this show is the mecca of all circuses!

    My family supports The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald that is why we would never go to the circus because we’ve seen the mental and physical abuse these circus elephants live to entertain the public.

  • Anne Marie E.

    Pick us! My 4 year old twins would love to go to the circus.

    A
    retired mental health counselor and mother of two writes: People take their
    children to the circus because it seems to offer clean, wholesome entertainment
    and, often, because it reminds them of good times they shared with their own
    parents.

    Why
    aren’t circuses good for kids? Because circuses hide dirty secrets. Because
    once kids discover — as they inevitably will — the cruelty that holds up the
    big top, they will be horrified and disappointed in their parents. That is,
    unless they are shamed into denial or taught to be bullies.

    Fear
    and deprivation are inherent in the training of circus animals. You will not
    see a circus animal act without sticks, whips, electric prods or bullhooks.
    Watch for them. They may not be used in public, but they work because the
    animals have learned, over and over again, what they feel like.

  • MWJanet

    I agree with JanieMom. As soon as I found out what circuses are really all about, I could never enjoy going to one. I’m surprised more people don’t know about this and quit going. It really isn’t wholesome family entertainment.
